If you've followed my website posts over the years, you will know that we have a family tradition on Valentine's Day is to share our love with each other (parents and kids, not just couples). So today, we are each writing a message of love to the other four family members and will pop them inside a personalised gift box. Then we will get together over a meal to open them and read the little notes of love we shared.
Meet the family!

For each of the five family members, I chose a pretty sheet from the All My Love Designer Series Paper pack and a coordinating card stock colour to decorate the fabulous Sweet Cups. I then had a lot of fun stamping and colouring the various "body parts" from the Family & Friends stamp set to personalise each one...
But wait... there's more! These personalised Sweet Cup gift boxes have gift-wrapping of their own! And tucked in the back is space for a note card, which will have more words of encouragement and love...
